Rokus van Iperen, chairman of the Board of Executive Directors:

“Despite the limited growth in sales of printing systems during the second quarter, we expect to be on course again at the end of 2005.

The strong demand for colour printers and high-production black-and-white printers will lead to continuing growth in the second half of the year which will also bring a recovery in revenues from service. We are maintaining our profit forecast: operating income from commercial activities will increase compared to 2004.”

* The figures in this report are unaudited. The report has been prepared on the basis of Dutch GAAP; as compared to the Annual Financial Statements for 2004 there have been no changes in the accounting principles used for financial reporting.

Results second quarter 2005

Revenues decreased by 6.1% in the second quarter of 2005. This decrease was largely caused by exchange rate effects (–2.0%) and lower revenues following the sale of the lease portfolio (–2.9%).

Non-recurring revenues decreased by 3.7%. This decline was caused by currency translation effects (–1.5%), the sale of the lease portfolio (–4.7%) and an organic increase in sales of printing systems of 2.5%.

The book profit on the sale of the lease portfolio amounted to € 1.3 million in the second quarter (2004: € 10.5 million).

Recurring revenues showed an organic decrease of 4.8%. Of this decrease in recurring revenues, 2.0% was attributable to lower revenues from service and 0.5% to a decrease in the revenues generated by Business Services. Revenues from media remained at the same level. Because of the reduced revenues from leases, recurring revenues decreased by 2.3%.

The gross margin decreased by 2.8%, from 43.0% to 40.2%. Of this decrease, 1.7% was caused by lower revenues from leases, 0.1% by the results on hedging transactions and 1.0% by volume-mix effects.

Operating expenses were reduced by 4.3% on an organic basis. Of this decline, 1.3% was caused by a release from the provision for bad debts. In the next six months attention will continue to be focused on operational efficiency and on investments aimed at strengthening the company’s distribution systems.

Operating income amounted to € 13.6 million (2004: € 34.2 million). Of this € 20.6 million decrease in operating income, € 20.5 million was caused by the sale of the lease portfolio and € 2.1 million was due to exchange rate effects. The decrease in the gross margin, after adjustment for leases, was offset in full by the lower operating expenses.

Financial expense (net) was reduced by 24.6% from € 4.8 million to € 3.6 million thanks to a lower level of debt and a slight increase in interest rates.

Income taxes made a positive contribution of € 1.0 million to net income, one of the reasons being that allowance was made during the quarter for the R&D credits that can be offset against taxable income in 2005.

Net income amounted to € 10.6 million (2004: € 21.4 million).

Per ordinary share outstanding the net income was € 0.12 (2004: € 0.25).

Results by Strategic Business Unit

In Digital Document Systems (DDS) revenues in the second quarter were € 432.1 million (2004: € 470.0 million).

Organically, the decrease in revenues amounted to 6.1%. The effect of exchange rates was 1.9%. After adjustment for the sale of the lease portfolio, non-recurring revenues decreased by 0.5%. Recurring revenues were 6.2% lower on an organic basis in the second quarter. This is the same as the decrease in the first quarter of 2005. Revenues from maintenance contracts showed an organic decrease of 2.7%.

The operating income of DDS in the second quarter amounted to € 0.1 million (2004: € 18.0 million).

Demand for the Océ CPS800 and the Océ CPS900 colour printers has shown rapid growth. In addition, the recently launched high-production black-and-white printers have proved to be highly successful sellers.

In Business Services profitability is increasing, notably in the United States. When entering into new contracts much attention is focused on services that provide higher added value.

In Wide Format Printing Systems revenues amounted to € 208.3 million (2004: € 212.2 million). Revenues were 0.3% higher on an organic basis, though exchange rate effects reduced revenues by 2.1%.

Non-recurring revenues achieved an organic increase of 5.4% whilst recurring revenues were 1.8% lower on an organic basis. Revenues from maintenance contracts and media decreased organically by 0.5%.

Operating income amounted to € 13.5 million (2004: € 16.2 million).

Sales of the Océ TCS400, a multi-functional colour printer for the design engineering market, continue to progress well. It is clear that, by offering this product, Océ is effectively meeting

the growing needs of customers in this market for colour printing capabilities.

In Display Graphics, thanks to the introduction of a new range of products, we are experiencing a strong increase in machine sales.

Results first six months 2005

Revenues decreased by 3.2% in the first six months of 2005. After elimination of exchange rate effects, the decrease in revenues amounted to 1.3%.

Non-recurring revenues grew organically by 12.4%, excluding the profit on the sale of lease contracts.

The sale of the lease portfolio generated a book profit of € 2.8 million (2004: € 12.7 million). Recurring revenues decreased on an organic basis by 4.9%.

Interest income from leases was € 21.7 million lower than in the first six months of 2004.

The gross margin went down by 2.4% to 40.3%. Of this decrease, 0.4% was caused by hedging transaction results, 1.4% by the sale of the leases and 0.6% by volume-mix effects.

Operating expenses were reduced by 0.9% on an organic basis.

Operating income amounted to € 28.5 million (2004: € 64.6 million).

Net income was € 19.7 million (2004: € 38.6 million), a decrease of 49.0%.

Net income per ordinary share outstanding amounted to € 0.22 (2004: € 0.44).

Outsourcing of lease activities

The lease receivables shown on the balance sheet at the end of the first six months of 2005 amounted to € 349 million (first six months of 2004: € 646 million).

The sale of the lease portfolio will, especially outside Europe, be temporarily slowed down. As a result, the lease portfolio as included on the balance sheet is expected to be around € 300 million at the end of 2005.

Relocation of machine manufacturing

The relocation of machine manufacturing from the Netherlands to Asia is making good progress.

The Océ TDS100, a printer for the design engineering market, is meanwhile being manufactured in full in Malaysia and is being shipped to customers from that country. Of the original Venlo manufacturing volume, 20% will be produced in low-wage countries in 2005. A start has now been made on the further relocation of activities, with the result that by the end of 2006 50% of the original Venlo manufacturing volume will be sourced from elsewhere.

Balance sheet and cash flow

The balance sheet total at the end of the second quarter amounted to € 2,154 million, a decrease of € 189 million compared to the end of the second quarter of 2004.

The principal reasons for the decrease in the balance sheet total were the lower level of lease receivables (€ 297 million) and an increase in liquid funds (€ 110 million).

Net debt amounted to € 229 million.

Total free cash flow in the second quarter amounted to € 34.9 million.

The solvency ratio was 35%, which is well above the minimum of 30% that Océ has set itself as a target.

Corporate Sustainability Report

In mid-June Océ published its Sustainability Report 2004. In this report Océ gives account of its approach to sustainable business practices and explains the goals that the company has set for further improving sustainable business practices in the future.

The report has been prepared in accordance with the recommendations of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which allows Océ’s performances in the area of sustainability to be measured on the basis of the GRI performance indicators.

Prospects

In view of the strongly increased demand for colour printing systems in particular, we are positive about prospects for the second six months of 2005 and we expect that the sale of printing systems will again increase more strongly as compared to the second quarter. We are also maintaining our forecast that the downward trend in recurring revenues will be reversed in the next 6 months.

Océ maintains its previous expectation that operating income from commercial activities, excluding the book profit on the sale of the lease portfolio, will be higher than in 2004 (€ 31 million). Because of the reduced revenues from leases, net income will work out lower than in 2004.

Océ CEO and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, Rokus van Iperen said:

“The swift acquisition of the Imagistics shares is a confirmation of the trust the financial community has in the strength of the combined Océ and Imagistics operations in the US, Canada and the UK. We intend to integrate the relevant part of the Océ sales organisation in North America into the existing Imagistics organisation in the months to come. The UK operations of Imagistics will be integrated into the existing Océ UK operations. Our extended and strengthened product and service offerings will undoubtedly be recognised and valued by our mutual customers, who have already reacted enthusiastically to the merger. We trust that the creation of Océ Imagistics and its operations in the US, as well as its increased strength in Canada and the UK, will contribute considerably to enhance growth and profitability of our company.”

Marc C. Breslawsky, Chairman and CEO of Imagistics, added: “The enthusiastic support of the tender offer by Imagistics shareholders is evidence of the value created by this acquisition and the opportunities for future growth. Our Board of Directors has confidence in the future success of the combined business and has unanimously approved this transaction. Imagistics employees have embraced the merger and are excited about the possibilities of broadening our customer base and product line, and adding facilities management, software and leasing options to our portfolio of services. We are confident that our customers will be better served by the combined Océ Imagistics business. And, we believe our growth prospects are significantly enhanced with Océ.”

Océ intends to complete the acquisition of Imagistics through a merger of Orange Merger Corp. with and into Imagistics after the expiration of the subsequent offering period. As a result of the merger, all remaining outstanding shares of common stock of Imagistics not purchased by Orange Merger Corp. in the tender offer (except for any shares for which appraisal rights under applicable law have been properly exercised) will be converted into the right to receive $42.00 per share, net to the seller in cash. As a result of the merger, Imagistics will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Océ. Following the merger, Océ will terminate the listing of Imagistics’ common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. Any offers to purchase or solicitation of offers to sell will be made only pursuant to a tender offer statement and a solicitation/recommendation statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders should read the tender offer statement (including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the solicitation/recommendation statement, as such documents have been amended and supplemented, because such documents contain important information. Those materials will be made available to all
